=== Get the Hammer 2.0+ stable ===

We try to supply a development zip bundle that contains everything you need to compile and run.
You do not need anything else as this zip to run and use the Hammer 2.0

You can find it here:
http://projects.vdf-guidance.com/projects/hammer/files 

Download the file that has a filename like:
Hammer2-development-snapshot-codemax-2017mmdd.zip
where mm=month and dd=day of the date we created the snapshot of our development files.

The Hammer 2.0+ is considered stable and is fine to use for development. 
We certainly do.

=== Get the Hammer via Subversion ===

In order to check out a working copy of The Hammer 2.0+ you need to add some files 
that are not versioned. 
These are mainly binary files that are subject to change. 
Files we do not even want under version control as they would cause
too much noise.

There are two versions of binary files addons that are required for your runtime environment.
The files are also stored in Subversion, but directly under the trunk folder.

For VDF7:
http://svn.vdf-guidance.com/TheHammer/trunk/Hammer-vdf7-dependencies.zip

For VDF12 and up:
http://svn.vdf-guidance.com/TheHammer/trunk/Hammer-vdf12-dependencies.zip

So go get the one you need if you missed checking them out already.

One is called Hammer-vdf7-dependencies.zip and is for VDF version 7 and up. It also includes a few .vd7 files.
The other one is called Hammer-vdf12-dependencies.zip and is meant for VDF12.0 and up and this one only contains data files.

You should unzip the Hammer-xxx-dependencies file of your choice over the existing folder.

The Hammer will not run without those data files!
